Gérard Depardieu, Philippe Graffin: La Nuit transfigurée

Third and final concert with Gérard Depardieu, this time on the theme of the night and the first world war with three powerful texts: Transfigured Night by Richard Dehmel, with the famous sextet composed by Schönberg; Harmonie du soir by Charles Baudelaire (a work that inspired Eugène Ysaye); and select excerpts from Flemish novelist Erwin Mortier’s book While the Gods Were Sleeping, accompanied by the too rarely heard music of Albert Huybrechts.

Texts by Baudelaire, Erwin Mortier, Richard Dehmel.

Music by Eugène Ysaye, Albert Huybrechts, Arnold Schoenberg.
